No official confirmation from the Lightning organization has yet been issued, but GM Steve Yzerman signed Bergeron on January 4, 2011 following a lengthy rehabilitation of injury suffered at the end of the 2009-10 season. After a month-long conditioning assignment in the AHL, Bergeron was recalled to the Lightning for the final six weeks of the season and the post-season. In 23 regular season games, Bergeron scored 2 goals and added 6 assist before tallying 2 goals and 3 points in 14 playoff games.

Gervais, 6-1, 200 pounds, appeared in 53 games with the New York Islanders last season, recording six assists and averaging 15:40 in ice time per game. He has played in 331 career NHL games, all with the Islanders. During that time he amassed nine goals and 68 points with two power-play goals and two game-winners. Gervais also played in five playoff games while with the Islanders during the 2007 playoffs, recording a goal and two points.

Missing from the list is defensemen Bruno Gervais, acquired this past weekend from the Islanders, who may or may not be a pending restricted free agent, as his salary and number of NHL games may qualify him for Group VI unrestricted free agency on July 1. Also missing from the list goaltender Cedrick Desjardins, who was thought to be a pending restricted free agent, but might have some other status. BoltProspects is attempting to confirm Gervais' and Desjardins' pending free agent status with the organization.

UPDATE: The Lightning have confirmed that defenseman Bruno Gervais was tendered a qualifying offer along with the other 5 players, and that goaltender Cedrick Desjardins is indeed a pending unrestricted free agent.
